Higher Demand for Car Sharing, Rental Services Amid Surging COE Prices

Channel News Asia, 23 November 2022

Ace Drive said more customers are coming in to rent after scrapping their vehicles once their COEs expire because they cannot afford to get a replacement. 

“We have been noticing a spike in rental demand for a few months now, mainly because of the uptrend in COE prices,” said Ace Drive executive director April Koh. 

“Most of our customers are telling us that they are putting a halt on their purchasing plan to see if they can rent or lease a car during this interim period. And possibly buy a car when the COE prices plunge.”
